Pilchards Posted 29 August, 2009 Share Posted 29 August, 2009 Too much hype me thinks... Loads more talent in the premiership other than Theo and I feel he is not delivering so much these days as defenders have sussed him out more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain Perrin Posted 29 August, 2009 Share Posted 29 August, 2009 I know he has had a few injuries, but I think he probably moved too soon (we would say that though). Who else thinks he has delivered less than perhaps Nike and Arsenal thought? I thought he'd have had more of an impact by now and, on the face of it, we got a very good deal (subsequent renegotiation aside). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joesaint Posted 29 August, 2009 Share Posted 29 August, 2009 He is a great player, and will play for england (do think he is a striker though). Good luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sambosa75 Posted 29 August, 2009 Share Posted 29 August, 2009 Arsene Wenger has been playing him on the wing for Arsenal in order to round his game more. He did the same wth Thierry Henry and when the time is right he will move him up front. Every player in the Arsenal team can play in two positions. This is exactly why he is playing on the right at the moment and not scoring the amount of goals everyone thought he would be. He is still one of their most important and popular players.

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 29 August, 2009 Share Posted 29 August, 2009 Theo Walcott was already a force to be reckoned with (in the CCC at least) before he left SFC - 3 years later under Arsene Wenger's tutelage he's still yet to feature in the EPL on a regular starting basis . I draw two possible conclusions from this : A - Theo's not as good as virtually the entire English game thought he was or... B - He's at the wrong club . I'm going with option B . Any young player eventually arrives at a stage in their development when reserve team football or a brief substitute appearance just won't benefit him anymore , to be frank TW reached that point years ago . With hindsight Walcott would have been better advised to have stayed at SFC a little longer or if the lure of the Prem was too strong a good club such as Everton for instance would have been a better move for him . Still only 20 the best years of his football life are obviously still ahead of him and as he recently signed a 4 year contract extension clearly he's happy with life at Arsenal . Were I talented/fortunate enough to be in his position I'm not so sure I would be . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legod Third Coming Posted 29 August, 2009 Share Posted 29 August, 2009 I think Wenger is handling him perfectly. He will score and create sublime goals at a club who play the most attractive football in the world. The kid is an artist at Michaelangelo's studio.

Smirking_Saint Posted 29 August, 2009 Share Posted 29 August, 2009 He will be a brilliant player, he has already become a more rounded player then when he was the raw talent in the red and white. Look what he did to the Croat's earlier in the WCQ's !! I believe Wenger and Fergie are the number 1 managers in the prem when it comes to nurturing young talent, and Wenger is probably slightly ahead tbh. If the boy can stay free from injury this year then i believe he will be a real force to be reckoned with. England in a few years could be terrifying if handled correctly, what with young, lennon and walcott all up and coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
